“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

137% of the income goes out in wages at Godoy Cruz
Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Brian Orosco gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
